| | cro777: With completing her WGM norm, Goryachkina becomes the youngest WGM in the world and gets very close to the record of youngest WGM in history World Champion Yifan Hou (12 years and 3 months). http://www.chessdom.com/aleksandra-... |

 | | twinlark: OK thanks. There's nothing I can find online about any of her WGM norms, although I assume her win at the Lyudmilla Rudenko was a norm, probably her first. Any idea about the 2nd norm? I'd like to update her bio with this info. |

Interesting article although a bit gushy: "An amazing 40th place"?? Good maybe, but amazing? If Goryachkina hadn't blundered by drawing a position against Skripchenko in which she had a forced mate she might even have qualified for the World Cup if she'd won the last round. As it was, it must have been incredibly bitter sweet to have blundered so horribly, probably feeling so crushed she simply lost the last game, and yet she still qualified for her third WGM norm. |

| | cro777: <twinlark: Any idea about the 2nd norm?> Goryachkina fulfilled the grandmaster norm by scoring 5.5/9 at the RSSU Student Grandmaster Cup ( 2012 Moscow Open E). "Karina Szczepkowska-Horowska drew against Alexandra Goryachkina and became the owner of the Bronze medal. In the case of defeating her Polish rival young Russian player could have snatched the third place, however her misterious draw turned out to be a simple fixation of the grandmaster point...Goryachkina's adult decision". "Goryachkina first appeared as FIDE rated player in the October 2008 list with ELO of 1889, rapidly improving it to 2019 in the next rating list. Since then she stayed at relatively the same level, until she won her WFM title at the end of 2008- start of 2009 via the World Youth Chess Championships. That proved to be a game changer for her, she quickly set pace for a WIM title (approved at the 82nd FIDE Congress 15-22 October 2011, Krakow, Poland). Now only six months later Goryachkina is a proud owner of 3 WGM norms, soon to be approved as a WGM title". |

| | twinlark: She'll still be kicking herself though. Her f2?? against Skripchencko will haunt her dreams. But as they say in these sorts of circumstances, what doesn't kill you strengthens you. |
